Settle is one of the hottest cities in the US.

Unlike, say, asbestos floor tiling where unless it’s cracked you really don’t have an issue.We were uncomfortable renting it—possibly to kids—without cleaning it, and it helped to make the numbers not work so we bailed.It feels right in between “oh cmon this is nothing” and “oops major problem” I think the trend is towards more regulation on that not less.

Rents have been trending upwards for the past two years and it doesn't look to be slowing down in 2021.

Hi Beth - Happy to share the hottest LA County zip codes with you!

I think they're inflation adjusted but who knows.In general I thought their neighborhood ratings looked fairly accurate - they just don't capture what direction the neighborhood is trending.

@Megha Sharma to pandemic is accelerating trends.

I'm curious what others think this will do to our market; from new construction trends to cap rate assumptions.

That also includes sounds and smells.I always ask clients afterwards if the home feels like they thought it would and I know they were nervous and put a lot of trust in me, fortunatly so far everyone said 100% and was very happy.Of course covid has intensified this trend.

While that may seem obvious, it's easy for new investors to disregard today's cash flow in lieu of our deep aspirations for future success when our current market is showing a trend of strong appreciation with exceptionally low interest rates.I mentioned being a Marine earlier because as a Marine we were trained to always have multiple courses of action (COAs), as I'm sure you're well aware. 

Are you seeing a trend and growth of people moving into the area ?
